A Tickfaw man convicted in one of the largest fentanyl busts in Livingston Parish history was sentenced to 70 years in prison, the District Attorney’s Office said.
Devonte Skinner, 32, was sentenced Wednesday to 70 years in prison as a habitual offender for possession with the intent to distribute fentanyl. He was also sentenced to 30 years for dealing methamphetamine and 10 years for dealing marijuana.
All three of Skinner’s sentences will be served consecutively, meaning he will serve 70 years. Since he was sentenced as a habitual offender, his sentence is fixed, meaning he will likely serve all 70 years.
